IRIDEX Announces 2017 Third Quarter Financial Results

 

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., November 2, 2017 -- IRIDEX Corporation (Nasdaq: IRIX) today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Third Quarter Highlights

 

Record third quarter revenue of $10.9 million, an 11% year-over-year increase

 

Shipped 111 Cyclo G6 systems and approximately 7,800 G6 probes

 

Significantly expanded marketing presence at worldwide industry events:

 

o

European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) in Lisbon: G6 symposium with more than 200 physicians in attendance

 

o

Japan Clinical Ophthalmology (JCO) in Tokyo:  G6 seminar with more than 250 physicians in attendance

 

o

German Ophthalmological Society (DOG) in Berlin:  Significant booth presence as part of launch of G6 in Germany

 

o

American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) in New Orleans:  Expect significant presence at the upcoming meeting with numerous booth presentations scheduled by leading physicians

 

Medical laser and ophthalmic care veteran George Marcellino, Ph.D., a member of IRIDEX’s board of directors, joined the Company as VP of Clinical Affairs. Dr. Marcellino was most recently a co-founder of OptiMedica, an ophthalmic laser company

 

“Sales of our G6 systems continued to gain momentum in the third quarter, through both new and expanded relationships with large hospital networks, ophthalmology clinics, and ambulatory surgery centers.  In addition, we saw pockets of improved probe utilization in the form of re-orders, with meaningful opportunity ahead to grow this segment of our business,” said William M. Moore, President and CEO. “This broadening interest in our platform is a positive development that enables us to confidently continue the expansion of our commercial infrastructure to address this transformational opportunity we see for our business.”

 

Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased 11% to $10.9 million from $9.8 million during the same period of the prior year. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by an increase in our G6 and medical retina product revenues and partially offset by the flat surgical retina product revenue.

 

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2017 was $4.4 million, or 40.2% gross margin, compared to $4.2 million, or 43.4% gross margin, in the same period of the prior year. Gross margin was primarily impacted by an unfavorable shift to lower margin products due to product and geographic mix, partially offset by a decrease in manufacturing overhead spending.

 


Exhibit 99.1

 

 

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2017 were $7.4 million compared to $5.5 million in the same period of the prior year. This increase is attributable to investments to support the Company’s commercial infrastructure, including increased sales and marketing expenses.

 

Loss from operations for the third quarter of 2017 was $3.1 million, compared to loss from operations of $1.2 million for the same period of the prior year.

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $22.8 million as of September 30, 2017.

 

Guidance for Full Year 2017

IRIDEX reiterates its previously provided estimate for revenue, and G6 system and G6 probe shipments for full year 2017.
