FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

 

IRIDEX Reports 2015 First Quarter Results

Record Q1 Revenues

Mountain View, CA. – May 7, 2015IRIDEX Corporation (Nasdaq: IRIX) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended April 4, 2015.

·

Revenues were $10.8 million in the first quarter of 2015, up 5% from $10.3 million in the 2014 first quarter and a record for first quarter revenues.

·

Gross margin for the 2015 first quarter was 50.1%, up from 48.9% in the first quarter of the prior year.

·

Operating income in the 2015 first quarter was $0.4 million compared with operating income of $0.6 million in the 2014 first quarter.

·

Net income for the first quarter of 2015 was $0.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share.  Net income for the prior year period was $0.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.

·

Guidance: The Company expects to achieve revenue of $48 million to $51 million for the full year 2015, although the Company will continue to assess the impact to its business of the recent strong currency adjustments on a global basis.  For the 2015 second quarter, we anticipate revenue of $10.7 million to $11.1 million, gross margin is anticipated to come in between 49% and 51%, and operating expenses are expected to be $5.0 million to $5.2 million.

President and CEO Will Moore said, “Our business continued its strong momentum into the first quarter as both capital equipment and consumable revenues progressed and international sales held up well in the face of monetary fluctuations that resulted in higher prices for our systems. We were especially encouraged by the excellent launch and reception of the Cyclo G6™ laser platform for glaucoma, which we introduced commercially during the period and which resulted in robust initial sales.”

Recent Business Highlights

·

IRIDEX announced the first commercial sales of its new Cyclo G6 laser platform, designed to treat patients diagnosed with a range of glaucoma disease states.

·

IRIDEX was granted a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a new proprietary disposable device, the iClip™ Closure Device, intended to replace certain suturing techniques in eye surgery.  

Share Repurchase Program

During the 2015 first quarter, the Company continued to execute its share repurchase program.  Approximately 22,000 shares were repurchased at an average price of $8.89 per share during the 2015 first quarter.
