o

“2021 was a significant year of advancement for Iridex, positioning the company for continued growth and value creation by expanding our product line from the acquisition of the Pascal laser platform, distribution partnering with Topcon, increased clinical evidence, clinician endorsement and funding to drive growth in our novel glaucoma treatments. We were pleased to end the year with record quarterly revenue, demonstrating increased glaucoma product adoption and strong worldwide demand for our leading retina laser platforms,” said David Bruce, President and CEO of Iridex.

 

“As we enter 2022, our focus is on accelerating global adoption and awareness of the benefits of our MicroPulse TLT for unique non-incisional glaucoma treatment. We have an exciting opportunity to leverage our expanded clinical data, KOL support, a large installed base, and an energized commercial organization to continue the momentum,” concluded Bruce.

 

 

 


 

Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Revenue for the three months ended January 1, 2022 increased 24% to $15.3 million from $12.3 million during the same period of the prior year. The increase in revenue was driven by higher Glaucoma revenue and continued strength of the Retina product line, including the Pascal product line acquired from Topcon, in both domestic and international markets. Excluding the contribution of Pascal products, revenue increased 11% over the fourth quarter of 2020.

 

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased to $6.0 million, or 39.3% gross margin, compared to $5.6 million, or 45.4% gross margin, in the same period of the prior year. The lower gross margin was the result of higher product mix in international laser systems sales through our wholesale distributor organization.

 

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 43% to $8.4 million compared to $5.9 million in the same period of the prior year. The increase is the result of additional operating expenses from the targeted expansion of our sales and marketing programs and in development of the Pascal product line and new product development initiatives.

 

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $2.4 million, or $0.15 per share compared to a net loss of $179,000 or $0.01 per share in the same period of the prior year.  

 

Full Year 2021 Financial Results

Revenue for the year ended January 1, 2022 increased 48% to $53.9 million from $36.3 million in 2020. The increase in revenue was achieved by a rebound from the COVID-19 downturn in 2020, the addition of Pascal products and increasing glaucoma product adoption.  Growth was experienced across all geographies.  Excluding acquired Pascal products, revenue increased 30% over the prior year.

 

Gross profit for the full year 2021 was $22.8 million on substantially higher revenue, representing 42.4% gross margin, compared to $15.6 million, or 42.8% gross margin, during the prior year.

 

Operating expenses for 2021 increased 37% to $30.4 million compared to $22.1 million in the prior year. This increase in operating expenses is primarily a result of broader sales and marketing investments plus additional R&D investments in the Pascal product line and other new product development initiatives in the second half of 2021.

 

Net loss for 2021 was reduced to $5.2 million, or $0.34 per share, compared to a net loss of $6.3 million, or $0.46 per share in the prior year.

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $23.9 million as of January 1, 2022.

 

Guidance for Full Year 2022

Iridex projects Cyclo G6 probe sales of 67,000 to 70,000 representing 15% to 20% growth and Cyclo G6 systems installed base to expand by 225 to 250 in 2022. Total revenue for the full year is expected to be $57 million to $59 million.
