IRIDEX Announces First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

 

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 11, 2020 -- IRIDEX Corporation (Nasdaq: IRIX) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 28, 2020.

 

Commenting on the recently completed quarter and the business environment created by the COVID-19 pandemic, David I. Bruce, President and CEO of IRIDEX, said, “We saw good momentum in the first couple months of 2020, as the rollout of our revised MP3 probe for the non-incisional treatment of glaucoma attracted the interest of glaucoma physicians to the potential of our MicroPulse laser therapy.”  Mr. Bruce continued, “Its combination of strong clinical efficacy, benign safety profile and minimal follow up requirements is particularly relevant as hospitals and clinics worldwide adjust to reduced patient access. We continue to receive positive feedback that physicians and patients find our laser therapy compelling as they approach the backlog of deferred glaucoma treatment procedures.”

 

“Notwithstanding this significant potential, like many capital equipment and procedure-based medical device companies, we began to see an impact to our business starting in March as we and our customers became subject to mandated COVID-19 sheltering restrictions,” said Mr. Bruce.

 

Recent Highlights

 

Total revenue of $9.0 million versus $10.6 million in the prior year period

 

Cyclo G6® product family revenue of $2.9 million, down 6% year-over-year

 

o

Shipped 13,050 Cyclo G6 probes, down 7% year-over-year, however overall G6 probe revenues were up slightly as growing physician adoption offset discontinued bulk discounted placements offered last year

 

o

Shipped 38 Cyclo G6 Glaucoma Laser Systems, compared to 114 in the prior year period, attributed partially to refocus toward probe utilization and partially to COVID-induced capital purchase deferral

 

Reduced Operating Loss to $1.7 million, down 46% year-over-year

 

Enacted measures designed to ensure business continuity, reduce operating expense, and preserve cash as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic impacts revenue

 

Subsequent to quarter end, secured approximately $2.5 million in loan proceeds under the Payroll Protection Program of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act)

 

“With the reality of restricted clinical access and mandated surgical procedure deferrals, our team is working hard to create unique ways to respond in this new environment. We are simultaneously reducing costs and adjusting operations, as well as shifting our marketing and sales activities toward conducting virtual sales calls, remote proctoring for urgent cases, web-based physician certification and educational seminars to address customer needs.   We are encouraged by the engagement with our customers and the progress our team has made through these efforts.

 


 

 

“We will continue to monitor and adjust our business activities as the US and countries worldwide begin to expand patient visits and procedure volumes when it is safe to do so and we are ready to expand our support and engagement as the environment evolves,” concluded Mr. Bruce.

 

First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Revenue for the three months ended March 28, 2020 decreased 15% to $9.0 million from $10.6 million during the same period of the prior year. The decrease in revenue was driven primarily by a decrease in our retina and surgical product sales.

 

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2020 was $3.9 million, representing a 43.4% gross margin, an improvement of 3.2 percentage points compared to the prior year.  

 

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2020 decreased 24% to $5.6 million compared to $7.3 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses was the result of significant cost savings measures implemented in the second half of 2019.

 

Loss from operations for the first quarter of 2020 was reduced to $1.7 million, compared to $3.0 million for the same period of the prior year.

 

Cash used during the quarter was $1.5 million and the Company ended the quarter with $11.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company received a loan of approximately $2.5 million under the U.S. Treasury Department’s Paycheck Protection Program that may be wholly or partly forgiven if IRIDEX fulfills certain requirements under the program.

 

Guidance for Full Year 2020

The COVID-19 outbreak continues to create a broadly variable business environment for IRIDEX. The degree and timing to which these variables will impact the Company’s future business is uncertain. As a result, IRIDEX is unable to provide a meaningful guidance range for its full year 2020 results.
