ZELTIQ Announces Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results

PLEASANTON, CA --(Marketwired - August 08, 2016) - ZELTIQ ®  Aesthetics, Inc. ( NASDAQ : ZLTQ )

  • Second quarter revenue of $89.5 million, up 39% year-over-year
  • 364 systems shipped, bringing total installed base to 5,254 systems
  • 370,122 revenue cycles shipped, up 47% year-over-year
  • Second quarter cash generation of $13.4 million

ZELTIQ ® Aesthetics, Inc. ( 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 second quarter 2016.

Mark Foley, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "I am very pleased with our second quarter performance and the ongoing momentum we are experiencing in the marketplace. Our national direct-to-consumer campaign continues to drive increasing patient awareness as evidenced by our 26% year-over-year account utilization growth and record revenue cycle shipments, which were up 47% on a year-over-year basis. Additionally, we have seen a significant increase in our web traffic, with over 4 million visits to our website through the first half of 2016. We continue to have conviction in our belief that we are in the early stages of developing the non-invasive fat reduction market and that CoolSculpting® is proving to be a leading gateway procedure into aesthetics based on our CoolConnect data, significant consumer interest and market research which shows that 30 million Americans are interested in getting a non-invasive, fat reduction treatment and that over half of CoolSculpting patients are first-time visitors to the practice providing the treatment. In the second quarter, we also experienced very strong North American system sales, which were up 37% year-over-year excluding the 80 systems shipped to Ideal Image in the second quarter last year. Internationally, we remain on track to deliver solid growth in the second half of 2016, and I am pleased with our second quarter performance of 19% year-over-year revenue growth, the progress we are making in building out our international organization, and our recent China medical clearance."

Mr. Foley continued, "In the second quarter, we successfully launched our CoolAdvantage applicator and shipped over 650 units representing approximately $6.5 million in revenue. Customer feedback on CoolAdvantage has been very positive as the significant reduction in treatment time, improved patient comfort and increase in treated tissue are all contributing to an enhanced CoolSculpting experience. We are also excited to announce the development of our new CoolAdhesive gelpad, which starts as a liquid then, as it cools, becomes more viscous and improves coupling between the tissue and applicator. These ongoing investments in innovation continue to expand the market."

Mr. Foley concluded, "Overall, we have never been more excited about the future of our business, and our strong performance in the quarter has led us to raise our full year 2016 revenue guidance to the range of $340 million to $350 million."

Second Quarter Financial Review

Total revenue for the second quarter 2016 was $89.5 million, consisting of $39.5 million of system revenue and $50.0 million of consumable revenue. This compares to total revenue of $64.4 million, consisting of $32.0 million of system revenue and $32.4 million of consumable revenue, for the second quarter 2015. Total revenue cycles shipped increased 47% to 370,122 for the second quarter 2016, compared to 252,642 for the second quarter 2015.

Gross profit was $61.9 million, or 69.2% of revenue, for the second quarter 2016, compared to gross profit of $46.3 million, or 71.9% of revenue, for the second quarter 2015. The decrease in gross margin is mainly attributable to product mix, the increase in add-on applicators sold in the second quarter of 2016, warranty expense, and royalty expense associated with deferred revenue. Operating expenses for the second quarter 2016 were $65.5 million, compared to $44.7 million for the second quarter 2015.

Loss from operations for the second quarter 2016 was $3.5 million, compared to income from operations of $1.7 million for the second quarter 2015. Net loss for the second quarter 2016 was $4.9 million, or a loss of $0.12 per share, compared to net income of $1.2 million, or $0.03 per share for the second quarter 2015. Net income (loss) as a percentage of revenue was (5.5)% and 1.8% for the second quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively. Weighted average basic shares outstanding was 39.5 million for the second quarter 2016, compared to weighted average basic shares outstanding of 38.6 million for the second quarter 2015.

On a non-GAAP basis, the company reported adjusted EBITDA of $1.9 million, or 2.1% of revenue, for the second quarter 2016, compared to $5.3 million, or 8.2% of revenue, for the second quarter 2015.

Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and long-term investments were $51.9 million as of June 30, 2016 compared to $53.1 million as of June 30, 2015, and $39.0 million as of March 31, 2016.

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.

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.
