BIOLASE REPORTS 2018 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

 

IRVINE, CA (May 2, 2018) - BIOLASE, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIOL), the global leader in dental lasers, today reported its financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2018.

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2018 was $10.0 million, an 8% decrease from the first quarter of 2017; however, BIOLASE continued to make progress in several key areas. The Company continued its strategy of increasing its focus on obtaining new customers, which resulted in new customers in direct markets buying over 60% of the all-tissue laser systems sold during the first quarter of 2018. This brings the average of new customers sold over the last three quarters to nearly 75%, which is a meaningful improvement compared to 2016, when less than half of the Company’s sales were made to new customers.

BIOLASE also continues to increase its liquidity position as it closed on a $6 million secured revolving credit facility during the first quarter of 2018.

2018 First Quarter results include:

 

 

Worldwide revenue of $10.0 million decreased by $0.9 million, or 8%, from the first quarter of 2017

 

o

International revenue of $4.3 million, increased by $0.3 million, or 7%, from the first quarter of 2017 driven by a 12% increase in Waterlase® sales

 

o

Worldwide Waterlase placements declined by 12% compared to the first quarter of 2017

 

o

U.S. Waterlase Express™ placements increased 15% compared to the first quarter of 2017

 

o

Consumables and other revenue increased by 20%, driven by a 22% increase in the U.S. and an 18% increase internationally due in large part to the Company’s successful efforts in attracting new customers

 

Continued campaign in Southern California to increase awareness and education about laser dentistry to enhance the region’s oral health and dental care and drive future sales of BIOLASE dental lasers

 

Subsequent to March 31, 2018:

 

o

Appointed Garrett Sato to the Board of Directors

 

o

Named John R. Beaver as Interim Chief Executive Officer to focus on increasing sales by accelerating efforts in increasing patient and dentist awareness, business performance improvement and continuing operational efficiencies

 

o

Established a Southern California Dental Advisory Board to help the Company increase awareness of the benefits of minimally-invasive Waterlase technology

 

Interim Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer John Beaver said, “Despite the disappointing revenue in this year’s first quarter, I am encouraged by our success in continuing to attract new customers to our products. I am also seeing signs of improved sales force performance, and I believe the marketing campaign currently underway in the Southern California area to increase patient and dental awareness of our products and technology will be successful and serve as the blueprint for the rest of the U.S. in the second half of 2018.”  

 

“In addition, we have been making a concerted effort to enlist all of our employees to help us educate the community on the benefits of Waterlase and laser dentistry in general,” Mr. Beaver added.  “I am excited about the early progress of this effort and am proud of the passionate commitment of our entire workforce to spread our message that the use of minimally invasive dental lasers provides significant oral health benefits for consumers and dental practitioners.”

 

The Company’s overarching goal is to significantly increase the pace of getting the Company’s dental lasers into the hands of dental professionals throughout the world, Mr. Beaver noted.  In addition to its previously announced programs to drive organic growth, BIOLASE, supported by the leadership of its Chairman Jonathan T. Lord, M.D., will explore a range of strategic options including relationships with partners that can add significantly to the Company’s technical and distribution resources and enhance shareholder value.

Net Revenue. Net revenue for the quarter was $10.0 million, compared to net revenue of $10.9 million for the first quarter of 2017. The quarter-over-quarter decrease of 8% was primarily driven by decreases in domestic laser systems revenue, international imaging revenue and domestic services revenue, partially offset by increased international laser systems revenue, domestic imaging revenue, international services revenue and worldwide consumables and other revenue.

 

Gross Profit. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the first quarter of 2018 was 30%, compared to 36% in the first quarter of 2017. The decline in gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the first quarter of 2018 was mainly attributable to unabsorbed fixed costs due to lower revenue. Gross profit typically fluctuates with product and regional mix, selling prices, product costs and revenue levels.

 

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2018 were $8.2 million, compared to $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2017. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $0.3 million, primarily due to decreased convention-related expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.6 million, primarily as a result of increased stock-based compensation in the first quarter of 2018. During the first quarter of 2017, we reversed $0.4 million of stock-based compensation expense resulting from the reassessment of certain performance-based equity awards. Engineering and development expenses decreased by $0.1 million, primarily due to decreased operating supplies expense.

 

Net Loss. Net loss for the first quarter of 2018 was $5.0 million, or a $0.05 loss per share, compared to a net loss of $4.1 million, or a $0.06 loss per share, for the first quarter of 2017. The $0.9 million increase in net loss in the first quarter of 2018 was primarily attributable to a $0.9 million reduction in gross profit.

 

The “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Non-GAAP Net Loss” table at the end of this news release provides the details of the Company’s non-GAAP disclosures and the reconciliation of GAAP net loss and net loss per share to the Company’s non-GAAP net loss and net loss per share.

 

The non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2018 totaled $4.0 million, or a loss of $0.04 per share, compared with a non-GAAP net loss of $3.4 million, or a loss of $0.05 per share, during the first quarter of 2017.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2018, BIOLASE had approximately $20.5 million in working capital.  Cash and restricted cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter of 2018 were $8.7 million, as compared to $11.9 million on December 31, 2017.  Net accounts receivable totaled $9.7 million at March 31, 2018, as compared to $10.1 million at December 31, 2017.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this press release includes certain historical non-GAAP financial information.  Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results and that, in some respects, these non-GAAP financial measures are more indicative of the Company’s ongoing core operating performance than their GAAP equivalents.

 

Non-GAAP net loss is defined as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation.  Management uses non-GAAP net loss in its evaluation of the Company’s core results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes that these measures are important components of its internal performance measurement process. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company may be different from similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
