ZELTIQ ® ( 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 third quarter 2014.

Mark Foley, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our third quarter results reflect the ongoing momentum we are experiencing in the marketplace along with the success we are having in further establishing CoolSculpting as the clear market leader in non-invasive body sculpting. This marks our 5 th straight quarter of greater than 50% year-over-year revenue growth and serves to further reinforce our conviction around the large, underpenetrated market for non-invasive fat reduction which we estimate to be a $4 billion worldwide opportunity. We experienced significant growth in both systems and consumables during what is typically a seasonally slower quarter. In addition to our strong 55% year-over-year revenue growth, we were particularly pleased with how well our financial performance translated to the bottom line. Based on our success and increased visibility, we are raising our 2014 full year revenue guidance to $171 million to $173 million as well as our profitability guidance."

Mr. Foley continued, "We remain very bullish on our long-term growth prospects due to our proprietary, differentiated and leverageable technology combined with a world class sales organization and pioneering marketing initiatives. We remain confident in our ability to deliver on our longer term financial objectives of a greater than 20% revenue CAGR over the next 5 years and 25% to 30% adjusted EBITDA margins as our business reaches scale."

Third Quarter Financial Review Total revenue for the third quarter 2014 was $45.7 million, consisting of $24.8 million of system revenue and $20.9 million of consumable revenue. This compares to total revenue of $29.5 million, consisting of $15.9 million of system revenue and $13.6 million of consumable revenue for the third quarter 2013. Total revenue cycles shipped increased 54% to 159,116 for the third quarter 2014, compared to 103,492 for the third quarter 2013.

Gross profit was $33.1 million, or 73% of revenue, for the third quarter 2014, compared to gross profit of $21.2 million, or 72% of revenue, for the third quarter 2013. Operating expenses for the third quarter 2014 were $28.2 million, compared to $24.1 million for the third quarter 2013.

Income from operations for the third quarter 2014 was $5.0 million, compared to a loss from operations of $2.9 million for the third quarter 2013. Net income for the third quarter 2014 was $4.8 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.8 million for the third quarter 2013, or ($0.08) per share. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding was 40.9 million for the third quarter 2014, compared to weighted average basic shares outstanding of 36.2 million for the third quarter 2013. 

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported adjusted EBITDA of positive $7.9 million, or 17% of revenue, for the third quarter 2014, compared to negative $1.0 million, or -3% of revenue, for the third quarter 2013.

Additional information regarding ZELTIQ's results and guidance can be found in ZELTIQ's Supplemental Financial and Operational Information schedule by  CLICKING HERE or by visiting the Investor Relations section of ZELTIQ's website at www.zeltiq.com .

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures ZELTIQ has supplemented its GAAP net income (loss) with a non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the performance of ZELTIQ, facilitates a more meaningful comparison of results for current periods with previous operating results, and assists management in analyzing future trends, making strategic and business decisions and establishing internal budgets and forecasts. A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) in the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided in the schedule below.

There are limitations in using this non-GAAP financial measure because it is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Investors and potential investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the ZELTIQ's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measure provided in the schedule below.

The dial-in numbers are (877) 280-7291for domestic callers and (707) 287-9361for international callers.

About ZELTIQ ® Aesthetics ZELTIQ is a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing products utilizing its proprietary controlled-cooling technology platform. ZELTIQ's first commercial product, the CoolSculpting ®  System, is designed to selectively reduce stubborn fat bulges. CoolSculpting is based on the scientific principle that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than the overlying skin and surrounding tissues. It 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. ZELTIQ developed CoolSculpting to safely, noticeably, and measurably reduce the fat layer.
