Exhibit 99.1

 

 

IRIDEX Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 Financial Results

 

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., March 12, 2020 -- IRIDEX Corporation (Nasdaq: IRIX) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 28, 2019.

 

Fourth Quarter Highlights

 

Cyclo G6® product family revenue grew 18% year-over-year to $3.7 million, or 31% of total revenue

 

o

Shipped 13,700 Cyclo G6 probes, a 11% year-over-year increase

 

o

Shipped 107 Cyclo G6 Glaucoma Laser Systems, compared to 122 the prior year

 

Total revenue of $11.8 million

 

Achieved 15% reduction in operating expenses versus the comparable quarter of 2018

 

Launched revised MicroPulse P3® Device, which has been redesigned to deliver greater stability, visualization, coupling and fit

 

“IRIDEX has made significant progress in our strategic shift to an emphasis on physician adoption of MicroPulse® transscleral laser therapy as a key element of their glaucoma practice,” said David I. Bruce, President and CEO of IRIDEX. “In the second half of the year, we realigned our sales processes, launched our revised MicroPulse P3® Device, and made operational improvements to achieve cost efficiencies. I am confident that we will continue to build on these achievements in working with physicians to grow adoption of our unique non-incisional glaucoma therapy, proven in over 140,000 procedures to date and in over 20 peer-reviewed publications,” said David I. Bruce, President and CEO of IRIDEX.

 

“We entered 2020 with great momentum, generating confidence in our long-term growth opportunity. That has not changed despite the turbulence caused by the COVID-19 virus in number of business environments where we operate and sell today.  Importantly, we have a stable supply chain to meet anticipated demand, and the operational efficiencies and capital resources to support our business during this period,” concluded Bruce.

 

Fourth Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Revenue for the three months ended December 28, 2019 increased 3% to $11.8 million from $11.5 million during the same period of the prior year. The increase in revenue was driven primarily by an increase from G6 revenues and offset by a decrease from retina product sales.

 

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $4.9 million, or 41.2% gross margin, compared to $4.7 million, or 41.0% gross margin, in the same period of the prior year. Positive margin gains from increased probe sales and decreased manufacturing overhead spending were offset by retina pricing pressure and geographic mix.

 

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased 15% to $6.5 million compared to $7.6 million in the same period of the prior year. This is the result of our focus on cost reduction and efficiencies implemented throughout the second half of 2019.

 


 

 

Loss from operations for the fourth quarter of 2019 was reduced to $1.6 million, compared to $2.9 million for the same period of the prior year.

 

Full Year 2019 Financial Results

 

Revenue for the year ended December 28, 2019 increased $0.8 million to $43.4 million from $42.6 million in 2018. The increase was driven primarily by gains in G6 probes revenue offset by a decrease in retina product sales. The Cyclo G6 family of consoles and probes has grown to 30% of total revenue.  

 

Gross profit for the full year 2019 was $17.9 million, or 41.3% gross margin, compared to $17.5 million, or 41.0% gross margin, during the prior year. The benefits from increased probe sales and reduced manufacturing overhead costs were offset by a shift in geographic mix.

 

Operating expenses for 2019 were $26.9 million compared to $30.3 million in the prior year.

This decrease is primarily from reduction in costs associated with lower headcount and efficiencies, along with adjustments to our sales and marketing programs.

 

Loss from operations for 2019 was $9.0 million, compared to $12.9 million in the prior year.

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $12.7 million as of December 28, 2019.

 

Guidance for Full Year 2020

The COVID-19 outbreak has created a broadly variable business environment for IRIDEX, including regional travel restrictions, areas with limited hospital access, and cancellation of industry and physician meetings. The degree and timing to which these variables will impact the Company’s business is uncertain. As a result, IRIDEX is unable to provide a meaningful guidance range for full year 2020 financial results at this time.
