Cutera Reports Third Quarter 2017 Financial Result
Post# of 617763
BRISBANE, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 7, 2017) - Cutera, Inc. (
James Reinstein, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are pleased with our third quarter financial and operational performance and the continued progress of our commercial teams. Our 26% revenue growth in the third quarter was again driven primarily by North American product sales. In addition, our International team produced systems revenue of $10 million - a single quarter record for this team. Much of our growth was fueled by recent product launches, including enlighten III and truSculpt 3D , however we continue to see growth in some of our legacy platforms such as xeo . We expect this momentum to continue throughout the fourth quarter."
Key operating highlights for the third quarter of 2017, compared to the third quarter of 2016:
- Revenue increased 26%, to a record $38.2 million, primarily due to 57% growth in North America Systems revenue;
- 13 th consecutive quarter of year-over-year double-digit revenue growth;
- Gross margin of 58%, consistent with previous guidance;
- Research and Development increased 19% as we continue to invest in our product portfolio;
- Operating income was $6.2 million, including a one-time $4 million benefit from our facility lease cancellation;
- Excluding the one-time $4 million benefit, operating income was $2.2 million, an increase of 44% over the third quarter 2016;
- Cash generated by operations was $3.7 million, including the one-time $4 million benefit from our facility lease cancellation;
- Excluding the one-time $4 million benefit, cash used by operations was $300,000 due primarily to increased working capital investment to support higher revenue levels;
- Net income was $6.2 million, or $0.42 per fully diluted share (including the $4 million income benefit from our previously announced facility lease cancellation);
- Adjusted net income (non-GAAP*) was $3.5 million, or $0.24 per fully diluted share excluding non-cash stock based compensation, depreciation and the facility lease cancellation benefit (refer to the GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation provided).
Product Updates Market acceptance for the Company's truSculpt 3D system continues to be robust in North America as many practitioners believe it is the best-in-class system for body sculpting. The Company introduced truSculpt 3D in select International markets in September 2017, and plans to continue to execute regional expansion of the launch throughout the fourth quarter. This latest version of the truSculpt family includes a consumable product enabling the Company to participate in the procedure income with its customers. Although only launched in mid-May of this year, truSculpt leads all platforms in revenue generation during the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2017, highlighting the importance of new products and new markets.
Sandra Gardiner, Consultant Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Our continued quarterly success allows us to invest in new product platform opportunities, as reflected in our increased research and development investments. We also continue to purchase our stock in the open market and have now repurchased $13.8 million of stock through the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We ended the third quarter with over $50 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments. Based on our strong third quarter results, we are reiterating our guidance ranges for the full year."
Full-Year 2017 Outlook
- We expect to be at the upper end of our previously announced revenue guidance range of $144 - $147 million;
- Gross margin is expected to be in the range of 58% - 59%;
- GAAP earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.77 - $0.81. This includes the benefit from the $4 million facility cancellation income received.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures * To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, management has disclosed certain Non-GAAP financial measures for the statement of operations and net income per diluted share, which exclude non-cash expenses for stock-based compensation, depreciation and a non-recurring lease termination income. Company management uses these measurements as aids in monitoring the Company's ongoing financial performance from quarter to quarter, and year to year, on a regular basis and for benchmarking against other medical technology companies. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, the operating performance measure as prescribed by GAAP.
