ZELTIQ Announces Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

PLEASANTON, CA --(Marketwired - November 09, 2016) -

  • 403 systems shipped, bringing total installed base to 5,657 systems
  • 386,854 revenue cycles shipped, up 56% year-over-year
  • International revenue of $20.9 Million, up 43% year-over-year
  • Third quarter cash and investments increase of $13.1 million

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 2016.

Mark Foley, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "I am extremely pleased with our third quarter performance as we delivered the largest revenue quarter in the Company's history during what is typically a seasonally slower time of year in the aesthetics industry. We experienced strong growth in both systems and consumables as the durable benefit of our direct-to-consumer or DTC campaign continued to create momentum and further solidify CoolSculpting ® as the leading non-invasive, fat-reduction brand. With North America account utilization up 25% year-over-year, and over six million unique visitors to our website during the first nine months of the year, we continue to have conviction in our DTC investments and believe that we are not only generating awareness but are also beginning to condition a broader consumer base for treatment. Our international business also performed exceptionally well with revenues up 43% year-over-year as our new international management team continued to successfully execute and as we commenced our launch into the China Medical market. Importantly, the third quarter also demonstrated our ability to deliver significant profitability, as evidenced by our record Adjusted EBITDA margin, as we realized the benefit of our strategic investments."

Mr. Foley concluded, "Overall, I am very pleased with our broad-based success in the quarter and believe that it added strong validation to our DTC strategy, international investments, and ability to deliver profitable growth. Due to our strong momentum in the market, we are increasing our full year 2016 revenue guidance to a range of $350 million to $352 million."

Third Quarter Financial Review

Total revenue for the third quarter 2016 was $95.2 million, consisting of $42.7 million of system revenue and $52.5 million of consumable revenue. This compares to total revenue of $61.2 million, consisting of $29.3 million of system revenue and $31.9 million of consumable revenue, for the third quarter 2015. Total revenue cycles shipped increased 56% to 386,854 for the third quarter 2016, compared to 247,298 for the third quarter 2015.

Gross profit was $66.8 million, or 70.1% of revenue, for the third quarter 2016, compared to gross profit of $45.2 million, or 73.8% of revenue, for the third quarter 2015. The decrease in gross margin is mainly attributable to the increase in add-on and previously deferred applicators recognized in the third quarter of 2016, as well as increased warranty and inventory-related expense. Operating expenses for the third quarter 2016 were $55.1 million, compared to $43.2 million for the third quarter 2015.

Income from operations for the third quarter 2016 was $11.7 million, compared to income from operations of $1.9 million for the third quarter 2015. Net income for the third quarter 2016 was $5.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share for the third quarter 2015. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 41.6 million for the third quarter 2016, compared to weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 40.9 million for the third quarter 2015.

On a non-GAAP basis, the company reported adjusted EBITDA of $16.6 million, or 17.4% of revenue, for the third quarter 2016, compared to $5.6 million, or 9.2% of revenue, for the third quarter 2015.

Cash and investments were $65.0 million as of September 30, 2016, compared to $51.9 million as of June 30, 2016.

Full Year 2016 Financial Guidance

ZELTIQ is updating its financial guidance for the full year 2016, as follows:

  • Revenue guidance in a range of $350 million to $352 million, up from prior guidance of $340 million to $350 million.
  • Gross profit margin of approximately 70% of total revenue, compared to prior guidance of approximately 68%.
  • Operating expenses of approximately 68% of total revenue, compared to prior guidance of 66% to 67%.
  • Stock-based compensation, depreciation, and amortization expense of approximately 6% of total revenue, compared to prior guidance of 6% to 7%.
  • Net loss margin of approximately (1)% of total revenue, compared to prior guidance of (3)% to (2)%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 8% of total revenue, compared to prior guidance of 7% to 9%.

In the fourth quarter of 2016, the company is moving its headquarters and vacating its existing facility. As part of this transition, the company anticipates recording a charge to account for the remaining lease liability and other related expenses. This charge is not included in financial guidance, and management currently plans to exclude it from fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA.

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.
