Solta Medical Reports Third Quarter Results

Third Quarter Revenue Up 28% from Prior Year

Liposonix, Thermage, Fraxel, and Clear + Brilliant All Generate Revenue Growth

HAYWARD, Calif., November 1, 2012 — Solta Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLTM), a global leader in the medical aesthetics market, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012. Revenue for the third quarter was $35.0 million, an increase of $7.6 million, or 28%, as compared to the third quarter of 2011. Revenue from Liposonix, the Company’s non-invasive fat reduction system, was $7.0 million, which was generated from shipments of 81 systems and associated consumables. Total product revenue from treatment tips and consumables for the quarter was $16.9 million, representing 48% of total revenue. Revenue from North America and international markets rose year-over-year by 27% and 28%, respectively, and was driven by growth in Liposonix, Thermage, Fraxel, and Clear + Brilliant brands.

“During the third quarter, we successfully executed our strategies to launch Liposonix in several key international markets as well as generate growth from the Thermage, Fraxel, and Clear + Brilliant product lines,” said Stephen J. Fanning, Chairman, President & CEO. “As a result of our efforts, we expanded commercialization of Liposonix to several overseas markets. In total, more than one-half of the Liposonix systems were shipped to international distributors and their customers during the quarter. Over the last several months, we have received important regulatory clearances for Liposonix and Clear + Brilliant in several significant international markets and in Asia, we continued to see strong demand for all our brands as revenue rose year-over-year in the region by 43%. In addition, we generated double digit new system sales growth worldwide for our Thermage and Fraxel brands during the quarter.”


GAAP net loss for the quarter was $2.9 million as compared to GAAP net loss of $1.1 million reported for the third quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $2.0 million or $0.03 per diluted share as compared to non-GAAP net income of $1.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share for same period last year. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $3.3 million compared to $2.6 million for the same period last year.

GAAP results for the third quarter include a $1.9 million charge for a fair value reassessment of the expected earn out payments associated with the acquisition of Liposonix. The total contingent consideration, which includes expected payments over the next seven years, is $60.4 million, and is shown on the Company’s September 30, 2012 balance sheet as a short-term liability of $22.3 million and a long-term liability of $38.1 million. The Company’s GAAP results for the quarter also include $1.7 million of non-cash amortization and other acquisition related charges, and $1.2 million of non-cash stock based compensation charges. The Company provides non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these charges and expenses. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the tables included in this release.

“We have produced positive non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for every quarter over the last three years while investing in organic growth and strategic acquisitions. During this same time period we also generated more than $12 million in cash flow from operations,” said Mr. Fanning. “Our extensive product line offers a breadth of aesthetic solutions and positions Solta for improved operating leverage and operating cash flow, which are key areas of focus for management.”

Financial Outlook for 2012

The company updated its financial outlook for 2012 as follows:

 

   

The Company reiterated that revenue for the full year 2012 is expected to be in the range of $142 million to $144 million, representing year-over-year revenue growth of 22% to 24%.*

 

   

Non-GAAP gross margin is now estimated to be in the range of 65% to 67% for the full year 2012 as compared to the Company’s previously issued range of 64%


 

to 67%. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes non-cash amortization charges, non-cash stock based compensation charges, severance costs, and acquisition related adjustments. Non-GAAP gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 66.6%.

 

   

The outlook for positive non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for every quarter and for the full-year 2012 remains unchanged. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash amortization charges, non-cash stock based compensation charges, severance costs, and acquisition related adjustments. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $8.0 million.

 

* The Company is unable at this time to assess the impact Hurricane Sandy may have on its ability to generate revenue from the Northeast region of the U.S. where the Company has historically derived about 8% of total revenue.

Non-GAAP Presentation

To supplement the condensed consolidated financial information presented on a GAAP basis, management has provided non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share measures that exclude the impact of acquisition related adjustments, severance costs, acquisition related costs, and stock-based compensation expenses. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with insight into what is used by management to conduct a more meaningful and consistent comparison of the Company’s ongoing operating results and trends, compared with historical results. This presentation is also consistent with the measures management uses to measure the performance of ongoing operating results against prior periods and against our internally developed targets. There are limitations in using these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Investors and potential investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures attached to this release.
