IRIDEX Reports Growing Revenue and Profits in

2011 Second Quarter

Mountain View, Calif. – August 4, 2011…IRIDEX Corporation (Nasdaq: IRIX) today reported improved financial results for the second quarter ended July 2, 2011.

 

   

For the second quarter of 2011: earnings increased 13% to $0.9 million or $0.09 per diluted share, up from $0.8 million or $0.08 per diluted share reported in the second quarter of 2010. Total sales increased to $10.8 million in the second quarter of 2011, up 9% from $9.9 million in the second quarter of 2010.

 

   

For the first half of 2011: earnings increased 15% to $1.5 million or $0.14 per diluted share, up from $1.3million or $0.13 per diluted share reported in the first half of 2010. Total sales increased to $22.0 million, up 7% from $20.6 million.

 

   

Direct ophthalmology sales grew 8% in the second quarter of 2011 and 9% in the first half of 2011.

“Second quarter sales were within guidance, gross margin was below guidance and operating expenses were better than guidance. Our core ophthalmology business saw 8% growth even with a challenging equipment environment in Europe and certain other overseas markets,” stated Theodore A. Boutacoff, President and CEO. “Ophthalmology domestic equipment sales were strong and it was particularly rewarding to note that this was our best quarter to date on a worldwide basis for sales of our IQ577 yellow laser. More and more physicians are recognizing the added benefits of working with a true yellow wavelength and having the ability to use our MicroPulseTM technology to perform tissue sparing laser photocoagulation procedures.”

“Our aesthetics business performed well compared to the second quarter of last year, although the additional aesthetics sales did impact the product mix which resulted in our gross margin being 1% lower than expected,” continued Mr. Boutacoff. “During the quarter we announced our share repurchase program and purchased 25,400 shares at an average price of $3.84. We were interested in purchasing more but were limited by SEC regulations.”

Guidance for third quarter of fiscal 2011: revenue of $10 million, gross margin of 45% and operating expenses of $4.5 million.

1H 2011 Business Highlights

 

   

IQ577 Japan and Mexico regulatory approval received - allowing IRIDEX to commence commercial shipments second half 2011.


   

IRIDEX was granted U.S. Patent No. 7,909,816, “Directional Probe Treatment Apparatus.” The patent applies to Stepped Angled EndoProbe® laser handpieces, the Company’s best-selling class of consumable vitreoretinal products and the basis for additional vitreoretinal products planned for launch in the coming periods.

 

   

Results of a new study were published comparing the benefits of MicroPulse photocoagulation technology, similar to that used in the new generation of IRIDEX lasers, over the standard-of-care protocol for the treatment of eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME). The results indicated that treating eyes using MicroPulse mode was as effective as the standard-of-care protocol in treating DME, but with the added advantages of causing no localized laser scars and significantly improving visual acuity. DME affects an estimated 2 million people in the U.S.

 

   

The Company approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase in open market or privately negotiated transactions, up to $2.0 million worth of the Company’s Common Stock, from time to time during the next 12 months.
