Pleasanton, Calif., March 12, 2013 –ZELTIQ Aesthetics, Inc., (Nasdaq: ZLTQ) a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing products utilizing its proprietary controlled-cooling technology platform, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012.

Mark Foley, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our fourth quarter revenue of $18.6 million was up slightly from the preliminary announcement we made in early January. As part of our ongoing business and team restructuring, we implemented a number of changes in the fourth quarter designed to improve our execution and better position the Company to take advantage of the significant market opportunity ahead. This included putting in place a new and experienced management team, restructuring and realigning our sales infrastructure, and refining our sales and marketing strategy. Although these significant changes were disruptive to our business in the near term, we believe they were necessary in order to drive more consistent growth in both system sales and consumable revenue over the long term.”

Mr. Foley continued, “We have now entered 2013 poised to execute on our growth strategy. We believe that the changes to our management team in conjunction with the restructuring of our sales and marketing organizations will result in improved performance. Over the course of 2013, we plan to deliver more predictable system placements, enhanced utilization and accelerated new product development. We expect the benefits of our initiatives to ramp up as we progress through the year and anticipate that these initiatives will translate into more meaningful revenue growth rates in the second half of the year. That being said, we continue to have a strong conviction in both the significant opportunity in the non-surgical fat reduction market, as well as our unique technology. Finally, our strong cash position leaves us well capitalized for the foreseeable future and we continue to focus on improving cash generation and moving toward positive cash generation.”

About ZELTIQ® Aesthetics

ZELTIQ Aesthetics is a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing products utilizing its proprietary controlled-cooling technology platform. The Company’s first commercial product, the CoolSculpting System, is designed to selectively reduce stubborn fat bulges that may not respond to diet or exercise. CoolSculpting is based on the scientific principle that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than the overlying skin and surrounding tissues. CoolSculpting utilizes patented technology of precisely controlled cooling to reduce the temperature of fat cells in the treated area, which is intended to cause fat cell elimination through a natural biological process known as apoptosis, without causing scar tissue or damage to the skin, nerves, or surrounding tissues. ZELTIQ developed CoolSculpting to safely, noticeably, and measurably reduce the fat layer within a treated fat bulge without requiring the patient to diet or exercise.
