San Diego, CA —August 7, 2014— TearLab Corporation (NASDAQ:TEAR; TSX:TLB) (“TearLab” or the “Company”) today reported its consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014. All dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. currency and results are reported in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, TearLab’s net revenues were $5.0 million, up 42% from $3.5 million for the same period in 2013 and an increase of 19% sequentially from $4.2 million in the previous quarter. A net 171 TearLab® Osmolarity systems were added to the Company’s installed base in the second quarter. Of those, 126 systems were under the Company's Masters Multi Unit Program, 32 were through its minimum use access programs, 2 were direct purchases and 11 were purchased outside of the U.S.

Total:

    2,746       1,164                  

 

 

The Company’s net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $5.4 million, or $0.16 per share on a non-diluted basis. This included approximately $0.4 million in non-cash income related to the revaluation of warrants issued in June 2011. In last year’s second quarter, the net loss was $12.0 million, or $0.41 per share. This included approximately $6.7 million in non-cash expense related to the revaluation of warrants issued in June 2011.

 

As of June 30, 2014, TearLab had $25.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. 

 

“As hoped, we saw early signs of progress from our focus on utilization in Q2, especially in our Masters programs which experienced 20% sequential growth in revenue per device from Q1,” commented Elias Vamvakas, TearLab's Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to be very excited about the opportunity we see ahead of us and believe that our test is becoming widely accepted as a vital sign of ocular surface health in the eye care community."

 

2014 Revenue Guidance

 

Earlier this year, the Company provided a 2014 business outlook, indicating that it expected its revenue to be in the approximate range of $30 million to $33 million.

 

Based on the Company’s sales performance in the first half of 2014, and on the timing and anticipated impact of a number of new sales and marketing initiatives introduced earlier in the year, the Company believes it can continue to achieve approximately 20% sequential quarter-over-quarter revenue growth in each of the third and fourth quarters, which would result in total 2014 revenues being in the approximate range of $22 million to $23 million.
