Second-Quarter 2016 Highlights:

Westford, MA – July 26, 2016 – Cynosure, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYNO) today reported second-quarter 2016 net income of $6.3 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, an increase of 18.3 percent compared with $5.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the same period of 2015. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding non-cash unrealized foreign exchange measurement gains and losses and amortization of intangibles, second-quarter net income was $8.6 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared with $6.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the prior-year period. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased 32 percent to a record $110.3 million, compared with $83.7 million in the second quarter of 2015.

Operating income for the 2016 second quarter was $10.5 million, compared with second-quarter 2015 operating income of $7.6 million. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding amortization of intangibles, income from operations for the second quarter of 2016 was $12.6 million, compared with $9.9 million for the prior-year period.

“Our second-quarter performance demonstrates the strong momentum throughout our direct sales distribution network,” said President and CEO Michael Davin. “Product revenue in North America increased 46 percent in the second quarter to $59.5 million, reflecting the full U.S. rollout of SculpSure for non-invasive fat reduction earlier this year, as well as significant

contributions from our MonaLisa Touch^®, PicoSure^® and ICON™ products. On the international front, our Asia Pacific subsidiaries saw a 46 percent increase in product revenue, propelled by the late 2015 regulatory approvals of PicoSure in China and SculpSure in Australia. Product revenue from our direct subsidiaries in Europe was up 6 percent year-over-year.

“We delivered solid operational results, as our gross margin increased more than 2 percentage points and we generated cash from operations of $16.3 million, bringing our cash and investments balance at the end of the quarter to $210.3 million,” Davin said. “At the same time, we continued to invest in the business, launching a highly targeted direct-to-consumer marketing campaign for SculpSure that is attracting new customers and patients to the Cynosure brand. In the R&D area, through ongoing clinical initiatives, we are investing to expand our products for new aesthetic indications and treatment areas.”

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Cynosure uses non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release exclude costs associated with the acquisitions and amortization of intangible assets acquired, as well as unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. This exclusion may be different from, and therefore not comparable to, similar measures used by other companies.

Cynosure’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding the acquisition-related costs, amortization and foreign exchange costs that may not be indicative of our core business operating results. Cynosure believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to the non-GAAP financial measures in assessing Cynosure’s performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. The non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to Cynosure’s historical performance and our competitors’ operating results. Cynosure believes that the non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in our financial and operational decision making.
