Reported Financial Results

Revenues for the first quarter of 2013 were $57.2 million, an increase of 14% compared with revenues for the first quarter of 2012 of $50.3 million.

Net income for the first quarter of 2013 was $7.2 million, or $0.34 per diluted per share, which included $1.3 million in stock-based compensation expense and $1.4 million in depreciation and amortization expenses. This compares with net income for the first quarter of 2012 of $4.9 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, which included $1.8 million in stock-based compensation expense and $1.3 million in depreciation and amortization expenses.

PhotoMedex repurchased no shares of its common stock during the first quarter of 2013.

As of March 31, 2013 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $63.5 million or $3.00 per diluted share, compared with $62.3 million as of December 31, 2012. Current assets included $24.3 million in accounts receivable, compared with $19.1 million as of December 31, 2012. The increase in accounts receivables was largely related to the impact of the timing of shipments related to a television home shopping special event in the first quarter, which were collected in the second quarter.

Management expects revenues for the second quarter of 2013 to exceed $59 million.

Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, PhotoMedex CEO, commented, “The rapid growth we have achieved the past few years continued during the first quarter and, importantly, featured an improvement in gross margin led by a 16% increase in consumer revenues, particularly from our no!no!™ products. No!no! is now available in most every Bed Bath and Beyond store across the U.S. and we are pleased with the initial sales ramp. We have also had strong responses to our Spanish-language advertisements in the U.S. and our marketing of no!no! Men. In addition we achieved substantial sales increases in Neova® skin care products from upselling no!no! customers at our call centers.

“Geographic expansion holds particular promise for PhotoMedex as we prepare to launch no!no! in Brazil and further develop the German and Korean markets. We are very excited about the sales potential in these geographies going into the second half of the year.”

Dr. Rafaeli added, “XTRAC adjusted treatment revenues were up 73% compared with the first quarter of 2012 as our direct-to-patient advertising is having a clear impact. We’ve initiated television and radio advertising in six new areas of the country and we plan additional rollouts of advertising in new markets throughout the year.”

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement PhotoMedex’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, PhotoMedex provides certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP adjusted income and non-GAAP adjusted income per share.

PhotoMedex’s reference to these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared under current accounting standards, but are not a substitute for, nor superior to, GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of PhotoMedex’s current financial performance and to provide further information for comparative purposes.

Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by isolating certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results and business outlook. In addition, PhotoMedex believes non-GAAP measures enhance the comparability of results against prior periods.
